@nellen55 we avoid walking on Fernwood for that very reason

@RussLoL All.The.Time!! Sad to say that in my experience the lower the salary the harder they expect you to work. My secret hope is that the "staff shortages" is the work horses figuring out their worth & not taking the underpaid jobs.

@strategywoman Thinking of you on your birthday 💙💛

@MortenKathy In my school memory book for years I wanted to be a mom. That switched briefly to a dentist (until I had a root canal), then an immigration officer. Finally ended up as a telecom analyst but more importantly a mom ❤

@TealePB Congrats @TealePB - not my riding but happy for you just the same!

So very proud of my 23 YO kid that is not only thoroughly researching candidates for the municipal election but also noting which ones don't have Reconciliation as one of their platforms. #ProudMama #MoreInvolvedThanMyMama

@TravisAPaterson Beaches .. all of them! My faves are McNeil Bay, Cattle Point/Willows & Island View. Also, if you do McNeil Bay, check out Anderson Hill Park - nice hidden gem but spectacular views!

I would like to hear less about campaign signs from the candidates & more about their platforms #yyjvotes #yyj #yyjpoli #SignVandalismIsNotNew

@davingreenwell could hear it pretty clear near Cook & Bay as well

Great evening for a September stroll with my hubby. Music from Rifflandia, gorgeous colours in the sunset, and spotted @JeremyCVictoria walking around Fernwood personally delivering yard signs (nice touch btw). #ItsTheLittleThings

@brian_macisaac @jwsthomson They also used it as an excuse to lay off staff & not hire them back :(

@PublicKris Maybe it's their uncle Milford & family 👪

@strategywoman Hi Yaroslava! I have lived on Vancouver Island, westcoast Canada for most of my life. My home is on Lekwungen Indigenous Territory, and I'm grateful to have access to the Pacific Ocean within 5 minutes. Think of you often, hoping for peace for you soon 🙏 #WestCoastGalForLife

[Donna S. 🇺🇦🌻 @ecofreakish]

@strategywoman Still keeping you in my heart & thoughts Yaroslava ❤

@jcoccola This one makes me ill (also looks like he's the organizer as the website is authorized by him). "Accountability: All decisions must be made in consultation with the people. Removing statues and renaming streets undermines the noble goal of reconciliation." - Jeremy Maddock

This is an extremely important achievement for our two Nations. My uncle, our late Chief Robert Sam, along with late Chief Andrew Thomas from the Esquimalt Nation, began this work over 20 years ago. Their foresight and determination created this opportunity for us today.

@VoteYYJWilliams I feel like we'd spend 2 years coming to a consensus on which month constitutes as our 'winter' 🤔

[Donna S. 🇺🇦🌻 @ecofreakish]

@gerryorome This makes me uncomfortable just watching it. He is a visitor trying to 'reconcile' so why is he on the red carpet like it's his kingdom?

[Donna S. 🇺🇦🌻 @ecofreakish]

@PublicKris Sounds fun for the kiddos & glad they respected your boundaries! 'Worthwhile risk' is the key for me these days. Retirement lunch with people who I barely like? Nope not worth it (btw 9 of 10 at said lunch got covid). Family gathering with ppl I love? Worth the risk for me ❤
